Singakutti
Director A Venkatesh atones for the first boring half of the film with better second half.
Sivaji is a happy guy hanging out with his friends. He tries some pranks with Gowri Munjal, the daughter of a soda company owner. These interactions turn into love. If one thought the girl's father would turn villain and move the story along, that's a wrong conclusion.
The girl's father gives the green signal for the match. The hero promises to marry her after he gets the job in the police force and he sets out to Chennai. After training to be a Sub-Inspector, he returns home to face chaos. What could that be? The answer to that question lies in the racy pace of the latter half of the film.
With a little more expression on his face, Sivaji could join the list of competitive heroes. He crushes to dust, the villain's ploys as he remains at a place but tries to send Sivaji through the streets on wild goose chase.
The only importance Gowri Munjal has in the film is to do close dance numbers with the hero. In the second half, she's kidnapped by the villain's men, and all the poor girl has to do is wait till she's freed.
This film is sure to resurrect Vivek's career. He is Malavika's ardent fan and only the hero and his friends don't cheat him. The director too.
The premise that establishes the Sivaji-Gowri romance is run of the mill.
What should have been great cinematography suffers from the haste shown by the director.
Apart from the first song, the rest of the songs and background score of composer Prasanna Shekar are nothing to write home about.
'Singakutti' is a cat in the first half and tiger in the second.
